Reviews
I just started working with Chad at Schiel Wealth Management this last year, and as a brand new investor have been pleased with the education and understanding that Chad has provided me. I appreciated him taking time to explain what otherwise might be standard knowledge for experienced investors. For example, Chad helped me understand that we can actually get paid two different ways from the same investment. He helped me understand my investment objectives and why a calculated approach after first establishing a realistic goal was best suited for me rather than just buying random investments. He was also able to “put color” as he says to my financial future, by showing me that my retirement goals are actually well within reach. Finally I like his straightforward Marine Veteran leadership style and the fact that he has helped and been an active part of the community. I’d recommend Chad to anyone looking for a straightforward, highly educated and experienced financial advisor.
